    I see dead features! 💀 (#97)

    Welcome to the Power Platform Deprecation Podcast! :D We see dead features everywhere these last few weeks, so tune in to learn what's going away, what stays, and how we feel about it. Not all of these deprecations are properly announced by Microsoft yet, but we do see a clear trend in where this is going.  Nick and Ulrikke also go down multiple rabbit holes left, right, and center, so buckle up for a long one this time. We provide our insights into what it feels like to be a developer these days, whether we might see Agents go on strike or HR for agents in the near future, and whether we think Power Apps have a future.  Tune in for news and updates from community champions like Jason Moore, Andreas Adner, Rob Howard, Charles Sexton, Josh Giles, Remy van Duijkeren, Reza Dorrani, Neeraj Nandwana, and Gokul Narayanan.  Ulrikke, hope to see some of you in Las Vegas for PPCC 2026 next week, and we wish Nick all the best at the North American Bench Press Championship in Costa Rica!  Show notes News Retirement of Vibe.PowerApps.com and App Builder (require access to the Microsoft Message Center)Deprecation of Microsoft Dataverse for Teams environmentsDelegate shared business processes to agents that are more persistent and proactive with Microsoft Copilot Studio by Jason MooreBusiness Applications in Work IQ (preview)Dataverse Ask API by Andreas Adner Introducing the plugin registry - one place to discover and govern plugins for Microsoft Copilot by Rob HowardCopilot Managed Runtime vs Power Apps Code Apps: What Changes? by Charles Sexton and Josh GilesAre developers becoming product people? by Remy van DuijkerenFilter-based security in Microsoft Dataverse (preview)Power Apps FINALLY Gets Modern Attachments | SharePoint Patch, Forms & More by Reza DorraniCreate Power Pages sites in minutes with SPA templates by Neeraj NandwanaA deep dive into Power Pages Enhanced Authorization | Power Platform Developer Blog by Gokul NarayananDynamicsSuite Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss a single episode of Power Platform BOOST!

    Managed Apps (#96)

    In this episode, we cover two big announcements: Microsoft Copilot Apps on Managed Runtime - or Managed Apps, as we will continue to call them (rebels unite!) AND Microsoft's superapp: the new "Copilot OS for all form factors" with Home, Code, and Autopilot! In other news, we also share content from Charles Sexton, Lisa Crosbie, Danish Naglekar, Michael Megel, and Michel Mendes covering topics like Power Platform Toolbox, Generative Pages, and GitHub Spec Kit. Also, check out the recording of Scott Durow on the Community Call where he presented the new Operative Next Gen course in Agent Academy for the new Copilot Studio Harness! Nick shared his experience as a speaker and attendee at Scottish Summit, and Andy Kemp shared a gentle reminder in the form of a blog post about what it can feel like to find your place at community events like this.  Puh! That's a lot to cover in one episode - so buckle up for the ride!

    Nordic Summit (#95)

    Episode 95: Nordic Summit 2026 This time we come to you "live" - or at least together - from Nordic Summit 2026 in Billund, Denmark! We sat down at the end of the two-day conference for a short recap of what it was like for Ulrikke to be an organiser and for Nick to be a speaker at this community event.  One of the popular topics for this conference was the new way to build apps from Copilot Cowork and Copilot Studio for those with tenants enrolled in the Frontier Program, as announced by Ryan Cunningham. At Nordic Summit, we saw Cooky and Matt Beard demo this in their session, and we have links to the announcements in the show notes. Also - if you are in the process of migrating from any CRM system into the Dynamics 356 CE platform, have a look at the Dynamics 365 Activate accelerator announced by Jeff Teper.  We also highlighted some content around Power Pages from Tino Rabe and Ritwik Ganni, and had a good old banter about SSL/TLS Certificates for Power Pages - which you can now get directly from Microsoft instead of having to rely on a third party - we learned from Ritwik Ganni.  Make sure to check out your local area for community events! Europe is on fire at the moment, and we are positive you will find a place to learn, teach, discuss, and network somewhere near you. Have a wonderful rest of your week and take care.    Show notes Nordic Summit Nordic SummitNews Build apps in Copilot Cowork and Copilot Studio by Ryan CunninghamThe Render-Mutate-Refresh Pattern: Liquid + Server Logic in Power Pages by Tino RabeAccelerate your move to agentic business applications with Dynamics 365 Activate by Jeff TeperMicrosoft-Managed SSL/TLS Certificates for Custom Domains Now Available in Power Pages by Ritwik Ganni Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss a single episode of Power Platform BOOST!

    Tokenomics (#94)

    Soo.. Someone got their knickers in a twist about the new AI at Work roadmap! :D We also discuss the future of Power Platform based on what we gather from this new merge of the release notes - and also test out the new Microsoft Release Communications MCP Server, which is great if you want to create your own roadmap agent. We also highlight content from Richard Riley, Howdang Rashid, Lisa Crosbie, and Em D'Arcy around the word of the week: tokenomics. We also explore the new Project HydraFusion for GitHub Copilot, which enhances multi-model orchestration.  Show notes News One always-on roadmap: Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and Dataverse join the AI at Work roadmap by Richard RileyGet Started with the Microsoft Release Communications MCP ServerMore Power Platform hacks I wish I knew before by Howdang RashidAkkodis Live: AI & Tokenomics by Lisa CrosbieUsing Environment Group Rules to Manage Cost Control for Copilot Credits by Em D'ArcyConnect Dataverse Git integration to GitHubProject HydraFusion: Frontier quality via multi-model orchestration Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss a single episode of Power Platform BOOST!

    BOOST as a service (#93)

    In this episode, we share some tips and tricks we use when working with coding agents to keep them up to date and our project work coding-agent-agnostic. The Power CAT team has released an update to the Copilot Agent Kit - an essential tool for anyone working with Copilot Studio.  Training and keeping certifications up to date is also important, and we can now get help from Vivian Voss's new Free Microsoft Certification Trainer website. It's also important to keep on top of the changes to security setup for Power Pages, and we highlighted some other new features as well.  Thank you to the amazing people behind the content we highlighted this week: Anouck Fierens, Vivian Voss, Tino Rabe, Nagesh Bhat, the Power Platform Podcast by Mark Christie and Malin Martnes, with guest Scott Durow. Hope you all are having a great week and that you stay safe and take care.  Show notes News Copilot Studio Kit by the Power CAT team Copilot Agent Kit August 2026 Update 1 – Agent Review Tool Setup Fix by the Power CAT team Copilot Studio or Microsoft Foundry?

    Yiiiihaa!! This time we spent a fair bit of time talking about the mental model around the new announcements for Copilot Studio, and that it's now based on the GitHub Copilot Harness, and what that means.  Our amazing friends at the Cloud Advocacy team released a new module for this new harness already! Shout out to Elaiza Benitez, Daniel Laskewitz, Scott Durow, Jack Rowbotham, Dona Sarkar and April Dunnam. Combine this course with the extensive list of recorded webinars by the CAT Team, that cover everything that you can possibly come across when working with Copilot Studio!

    Thrills, Chills, and Skills! (#90)

    It's in the middle of the summer for both of us; Nick just had a serendipitous experience 🏆️ at the local grocery store, and Ulrikke just came back from an Interrail trip 🚅 through Europe with the kids! If you want to hear about our summer experiences, tune in to this cutout: 🏖️Boost Extra! Summer Vibe! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=draieQra5tA 😎   If you are looking for something more tech-related to fill your ears with while on holiday, EPPC just published the keynotes from last week's event on ▶️ YouTube! We highly recommend you tune in to watch the keynotes by Ryan Cunningham, Nirav Shah, Leon Welicki, and the rest of the Microsoft team! 🤩 It was refreshing to watch the only non-Microsoft keynote speaker, Chris O'Brien. He talked about what's discussed in the boardrooms and how to align your career to stay relevant.  We also picked up LinkedIn posts from Steve Mordue, Jukka Niiranen, and Scott Hanselman this week as they touched on the same nerve as Chris did in his keynote, echoing some of the fears - but also proposing solutions for all of us working in this fast-paced⚡️AI era.  Also, Vesa Juvonen, the Copilot Studio CAT team, Nagesh Bhat, Michel Mendes, Luciano Spiguel, and Kunal Sethi gave us technical deep dives and interesting📣 announcements around M365, SharePoint, Copilot Studio, and Power Pages this week 😀 Hope you are having a great summer (or winter) wherever you are, that you take care to manage the heat 😅 for yourself and your loved ones, and that you stay safe.
